Trattoria Don Pietro

A great Italian restaurant in the heart of Old Town. Everything was tasty from beginning to end. I had their Rigatoni with meatballs and the food was delicious. The meatballs were moist and oh so good.On top of all the wonderful food, the service was outstanding!

We had dinner here on a Tuesday night, it was walking distance from our hotel in Old Town. Trattoria Don Pietro did not disappoint. My wife and son shared the Rigatoni and I got the rib eye steak prime cut - 16 oz. It was cooked to perfection with amazing char and flavor. The bolognese sauce and meatballs was also fantastic. Don't forget to order the garlic bread!! A sleeper. They make the ciabatta bread 10 blocks away and it was delicious. Bursting with garlic and Parmesan cheese it was probably the best bread I've ever had. Lastly, Robinson was our server and he was great. If you're ever in Old Town, stop by here. You will not be disappointed.

Amazing food! We first went last December as we wanted to eat near our hotel. We went with my 4 year old. We all loved the food. The meatballs are amazing. My favorite dish was the spaghetti- very unique flavors. I was in town again and was craving their spaghetti. This time I went with my sister, brother-in-law, and 2 year old nephew. Everything we had was spectacular and of course the spaghetti was a hit with my sister and nephew. The bruschetta is unique with eggplant and the tiramisu is one of my favorites :) The ambiance is lovely. The service is great! Everyone was so friendly and accommodating to kids. I am looking forward to going again when I'm back in town.Highly recommend!

Such a cute little gemin Old Town San Diego. Don't underestimate this place. Looks somewhat hidden yet the aesthetics are phenomenol....Service and food was Top tier! Just keep in mind to truly make reservations as this place does get fully booked past 6pm and reservations are placed. Price ranges from $15-30 per plate. Great deserts! I would defenitely come back. I had the penne pasta with salmon. Great taste and servings were large. I would say though, it was very spicy. Also, tried their pistachio cake. Wasn't my favorite but had a good taste. Tiramisu was by far my favorite. Try it you will NOT regret this gem

Came to Old Town San Diego for my birthday which is an annual trip. Made a reservation at Trattoria Don Pietro to celebrate the special day. The cocktails sampled were Mi Corazon and a Bronx Tale. Both drinks had a great flavor profile; were not over powering and had a great overall taste. The ambience around old town in late October is awesome. The decor for dia de Muerta is spectacular and worth checking out. Don Pietro was a nice place to check out, the staff was friendly and the establishment itself was clean and well kept and the service was prompt and attentive. I would surely come back again.

Only had appetizers and drinks, but they were very good! Not normally a fan of calamari, but it was excellent!

The food, ambiance and service were excellent. We'll definitely visit this restaurant every time we stay in Old Town SD.

Let me start my saying, ask for Miley to serve you. She was amazing from start to finish! She truly loves her job and was happy to guide us through the menu! She made me want to order every item on the menu. The food and drinks were good but we will be back thanks to her! The restaurant sets the mood! We came to visit last weekend and the staff was so accommodating when we wanted to be moved indoors. It's rare for me to say that the food and the drinks were great! They have a few fancy shots. Don't leave without trying one! We were so full but Miley helped us take some desserts to go. I'm a coffee person and the coffee flavor in the tiramisu stood out. I was home wishing we took two to go. Don't worry yelpers, I was nice enough to share with the hubby. Haha. I will be back.

Again! The food here is so authentic and fresh. Our server, Miley, Had the best personality. Absolutely adorable girl. This time I ordered the gnocchi..

I am disappointed to finally have tried this place after wanting to experience it for more than a year just for it to not be a great taste in my mouth. I ordered the truffle gnocchi & it was awfully way too overcooked. It was most overcooked pasta ive ever had. I don't know if I'd ever even give this place a second chance.
